Just recently replaced the motor on my warn winch on my 2013 outlander 800. After I replaced the motor I tested it off my truck battery and it works perfect both directions but...
Now that I put it back in the quad I can't get it to work again. I suspect that it is the contactor box that is the issue but want to know what you guys think before I buy one. So first off when I push my winch button I get no clicking at all, and usually those contactors make a pretty distinct click sound if I remember correctly. I took a test light and I have power at the red wire at the contactor that comes from the battery. I also have power at both terminals on the winch(blue and yellow wires). When testing the one terminal on the winch with my test light it caused the winch to start but I don't know what this means(doesn't do it on the other terminal). The ground on the contactor looks like it is in good shape. So what do you guys think?
I had emailed Warn about the issue also and they replied saying if the contactor was bad then the winch would only turn in one direction, but I cant get it to turn at all so I don't know if that is correct. Oh and all fuses are good.
